Midgate Window Operation

The midgate control module monitors 2 hall sensors located within the motor assembly to determine the window position and motor speed. The control module uses the window position data to set the soft stop locations and when controlling the operation of the latch release actuators and rear window defogger. Window motor speed is used during express operation and is a necessary input for the anti-pinch feature.

When the midgate window switch is activated to Up, a switched battery voltage is supplied to the midgate control module. If the midgate is not ajar, the midgate control module will supply power and ground to the window motor and the window is driven in the Up direction.

When the midgate window switch is activated to Down, a switched battery voltage is supplied to the midgate control module. If the midgate is not ajar, the midgate control module will supply power and ground to the window motor and the window is driven in the down direction.
